Differential amount received on account of sale of flat before taking actual possession (Rs.5 Lacs were paid as an advance and agreement was entered with the builder, now the said flat is sold for Rs.10 Lacs to new buyer.)
We want to know whether the differential amount will be treated as capital gain or not, as property was sold out within 1 and half year without taking actual possession of the property.

Even if this not treated as capital gain which is short term in nature, it will be income from other source taxable at the normal tax rate. However I am just giving a new perspective, though I fully agree with BC.
